Zombie Friday S1/ep.9

This episode is dedicated to a very good friend of mine. "Handsome" Herbert H. Hinckel.* (Name has been changed to protect the guilty) Handsome Herbert is a wonderful man. A kind and generous man. But unfortunately for him, he made a very big mistake today. Poor Herbert.  He is no longer allowed  the protection of the ZDI under the "it's not a good idea to make fun of me" act.  I hope he's taken good notes and followed the survival guide. 

I'm sure you're wondering at this point what he could have possibly done to instigate the revocation of his ZDI protection status. As I stated, he made of fun of me. To be specific, he made fun of my spelling. Bad form, Herbert...bad form. A trusted source, who I believe to be an especially close family member, disclosed a rather humiliating event from my childhood. Bad form, trusted, close family member...bad form! When I was quite young, I participated in a spelling bee. I was very proud of myself and eager to show off my impressive spelling skills. Which I maintain to this day, thank you very much. When it was my turn, I stood up and confidently spelled my word, "VACATION". Piece of cake.I got this in the bag...However, I was overcome with stage fright. I carefully recited "V-A-C-T-I-O-N", breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. I didn't realize I had made a crucial mistake. NOOOOOOO!!!! How did I get that wrong? Everyone knows how to spell vacation! This is NOT happening! But it did, and for 30 years I have been teased and tormented and forced to relive this moment 41,000 times.....sigh...and now Herbert knows. And he is paying the price. Which brings me to tonight's tip:

                  Tip # 12. Never...EVER insult or make fun of the person providing you with valuable lifesaving information you need to survive the zombie apocalypse. It's just bad form. No ZDI for you!

Even though Handsome Herbert has lost the protection, let's wish him well and hope he stays safe. Maybe one day, his privilege will be reinstated. He only needs to make 3 simple payments of $33.33 plus shipping and handling. But he has to act now! Limited time offer. Either that, or just give me chocolate....


                     *footnote*
                           No one knows what Herbert's middle initial H stands for, so don't ask. Personally, I don't think it stands for anything. I also wonder if he's regretting his actions. Not likely. I'm almost positive this won't be the first or last time I will be ridiculed by Mr. Hinckel * or the not- so- trusted -anymore- after- this -family member...
